You mentioned using the microplane on garlic, ginger, and hard cheeses, but the one I always go back to is your technique for getting all of the zest perfectly off of a lemon with them.

@demelkon 11 ай бұрын
Agreed! I love lemon juice and now with a microplane I can use the zest to amp up lemonades or just add a bit of flare to almost any savoury dish! And if I baked I'd do that too! All with an ingredient that would otherwise be thrown away 🤷♂️

I feel like the difference between good and bad shawarmas when it becomes as simple as the one you had (i've had these too all the time when I was in qatar) is the juicyness of the meat. The ones I used to enjoy were dripping with chicken fat vs the ones that were made with chicken breast. I haven't found shawarma joints that serve dark meat here in Phoenix, AZ because they all use chicken breast or trim the fat off the dark meat pieces.

For tenderizing meat, if you don't have a mallet or heavy pot/pan, use a beer bottle. My mom was a prep cook as Casey's back in the day, and she said they used beer bottles to pound chicken. The concave on the bottom of the bottle creates a vacuum when you strike the chicken. Its very effective

So just made this (chicken is marinading and the white sauce is done) with a few small modifications and mishaps. Turns out Turmeric sounds very similar in Estonian to what cumin is in English so I never bought that (oops), but hopefully shall be fine using some mustard seeds instead of it. Obviously didn't have cumin for the white sauce as well, so I made it a kind of a dill-green onion one rather than the cilantro one. Tomorrow the rest of the family gets here and it's go-time, I can't wait! This looks so delicious and I just really wanna taste this with the family already. Thank you for yet another great recipe! Now the only part that can go wrong is my grilling and the assembly, but I think it'll be all good lol.
